I still like the way my 528i handles more than my wife's Z4. Really! Get the car.

Good luck.
I most certaintly am UNLESS some unseen problems arise which is highly unlikey. Once I get the car I will make an intro post for the board because she really is a beauty. Anything else I should know tell tale signs when I look under the bonnet specific to this car?

Thanks Again
